Abstract: Methods and systems for medicine disposition in hospitals are disclosed. A method includes: receiving, by a computing device, an electronic health record (EHR) of a patient; receiving, by the computing device, an order to dispense a medicine to the patient; receiving, by the computing device, information from a wearable device of the patient and updating the EHR of the patient based on the information from the wearable device of the patient; determining, by the computing device, that a health concern is not identified based on the information from the wearable device of the patient; and dispensing, by the computing device, the medicine to the patient in accordance with the order.

Abstract: A method can include obtaining a first weight measurement of a receptacle and obtaining a second weight measurement of the receptacle. The method can further include calculating a first difference between the first weight measurement and the second weight measurement, resulting in a reference dispensation value. The method can further include obtaining dispensation data, the dispensation data including a measured dispensation value. The measured dispensation value can correspond to a quantity of a substance dispensed from the receptacle, the quantity of the substance passing through a dispensation monitor coupled to the receptacle. The method can further include calculating a second difference between the reference dispensation value and the measured dispensation value. The method can further include determining that the second difference exceeds a threshold and adjusting the dispensation monitor in response to determining that the second difference exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for selecting a payment option. Each item of a set of items being purchased during a commercial transaction is extracted from a bill for payment. Additionally, a commercial location at which the commercial transaction is being performed is also determined. For each of a plurality of payment options associated with a purchaser, a set of attributes corresponding to the payment option is generated. Based on these attributes, a cognitive system selects an optimal payment option. This optimal payment option is the one or more of the purchaser's payment options that is determined to generate the greatest benefit for the set of items being purchased at the commercial location.

Abstract: A smart card assembly with at least two chips. In some embodiments, the at least two chips are on the same major surface and define mutually-perpendicular, respective directions of insertion with respect to a standard reciprocating card reader. In some embodiments, the at least two chips are respectively mounted on opposite major surfaces of the smart card body.
